Incredibly worrying to hear of people stockpiling infant formula. Please, please, only buy what you need so there's enough to go around.

@1stepsnutrition @babyfriendly @DoctorChrisVT 🤷‍♀️...?!

Needs funding from somewhere to pay for time of appropriate folk to keep it up to date and explore the evidence properly, which is the obstacle. Open to ideas!

@1stepsnutrition @babyfriendly @NHS_Parents What on earth do the new prep instructions say??!

Our appreciation to @JonathanCliffe8 @dunkleybent @smithgillianbl @drtraceyc @LesleyBriscoe @Doula_Lisa who have stepped down as BJM editorial board members after the journal refused to move on accepting industry funding. Bold and courageous - we can only hope it has impact too.

This is really worrying - and one of our major fears about a hasty Brexit

[First Steps Nutrition Trust @1stepsnutrition]

Guidance published on nutrition regulations if we have no deal Brexit. Doesn't look like we get the new delegated acts for IF, FoF and FSMP: 'Anything that does not apply on exit day will not become part of UK legislation' https://t.co/lxawUBj0vi

Hey @asda can you tell your staff at Burnley store that this display of baby formula is illegal? These are first stage and hungry baby milks, on an end aisle under promotional signs. Please remove it. @babymilkaction

[First Steps Nutrition Trust @1stepsnutrition]

EFSA report on Salmonella Poona outbreak linked to infant formula in France, Belgium and Luxembourg aug18-feb19. This is why we need to maintain current UK instructions for making up infant formula with water >70C. https://t.co/1ZRKj3WPYg
